Exam Question And Answers 2024
SAID -correct answers✅In order to improve the goal, you
must practice the goal. Ex. If the goal is a 5K, you must
run to train for it
Rate of Remodeling -correct answers✅Remodel >
Damage --> increase training effort
Damage > Remodel --> decrease training effort (or may
cause overuse/injury)
Signs of Over Training -correct answers✅Injury, inc
resting HR, fatigued throughout day, low performance
FITT-VP -correct answers✅Frequency (how often)
Intensity (how hard)
Time (duration)
Type (mode)
Volume (overall amount)
Progression (how to advance)
ATP-CP Phosphagen System -correct answers✅Anaerobic
0-30 sec high intensity work
sprints, weight lifting

Exam Question And Answers 2024
Anaerobic Glycolysis/Lactic Acid -correct
answers✅Anaerobic
Glucose & lactic acid
:30-3 mins high intensity work
400-800m sprint, 100m swim
Oxidation System -correct answers✅Fat oxidation
3+ minutes
important for endurance
capacity limited by O2 and Cals available
*Unfit client has decreased ability to deliver O2 from dec
capillary density preventing delivery
O2 Physiological Adaptations -correct answers✅1.
Oxygen Deficit - initial stages of CV training bout referred
to as lag in O2 consumption, relying on anaerobic
metabolism
2. Steady State - achieved w/ sustained CV once O2
supplied equals O2 demanded. Inc fit, reach SS faster and
endurance depends how long you stay here.
3. EPOC - O2 debt, uptake remained elevated post
exercise for several minutes (or house if longer bout);
EPOC effect is to restore CP/ATP in muscles and O2 in
blood; "after burn" effect

Sino Atrial Node -correct answers✅Pacemaker of the
heart, in RA, initiates contraction
Atrioventricular Node -correct answers✅Slows down the

Right Chambers -correct answers✅RA receives deoxy
blood from vena cava. Blood travels to RV through
tricuspid valve. Leaves RV via pulmonary semilunar valve
to pulmonary system.
Left Chambers -correct answers✅LA receives oxy blood
from veins. Travels to LV through bicuspid valve then to
aorta through the aortic semilunar valve where it then
travels through the body's arteries to deliver oxygen.
Pulse Sights -correct answers✅Carotid (not
recommended to perform on someone)
Brachial
Femoral
Radial (most recommended)
Heart Rate -correct answers✅Avg is 72bpm resting
(normal is 60-100bpm)
Good gauge for clients to see how fit they are becoming
